Modern Comics #49

The Blackhawks arrive in Zorania to investigate a mysterious killer known only as Fear—a figure who has already claimed the life of crime boss Jobann and is systematically hunting down a cabal of wealthy criminals, including the villains Ginkel and Professor Nithar, who once profited from wartime lawlessness. As Blackhawk and his team close in on their quarry, they must uncover the truth behind Fear's vendetta before the killer strikes again.

In this 1946 humor story, Private Dogtag finally gets his discharge from the Army after four years of service—but his mustering-out pay quickly vanishes to deductions for damaged equipment and unpaid duties, leaving him nearly broke and desperate. When a sympathetic Captain refuses to let him re-enlist, Dogtag faces civilian life with next to nothing and no clear way forward. A comedic look at the rocky transition from barracks to the real world.

On Ladies Day at the ballpark, a resourceful pair of friends scheme to get in free by having one dress up as a girl to take advantage of the admission offer—but a well-meaning publicity photographer and a series of mix-ups threaten to expose the disguise before the day is through. What starts as a clever plan spirals into a madcap afternoon of close calls, mistaken identities, and unexpected consequences that neither Martin nor their friend anticipated.
